OUR NEIGHBOR JAMES YOUNG in Shelburne Falls would like to tell you a little about the Honor Flight Network, a nonprofit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for their sacrifices.

He said the trip is paid by Honor Flight, which flies veterans to D.C. to visit and reflect at the memorials.
